The house was built in 1875 and the garage over a period of time. I am the second owner with no knowledge of how it the concrete was poured. I suspect no external barrier is in place.

I just replaced the garage roof with a metal roofing system. The project included replacing existing gutters. Two sides of the roof are pitched and both have 5" gutters over a 30' run. Each carry water away from the foundation at least 10' on a gradual slope. I thought that would be sufficent.
